Kirby Loop

Stay in the loop. A visual feedback plugin for Kirby CMS: click anywhere on a page to leave a comment, reply in threads, and resolve discussions, right where the content lives. Made for client reviews and team feedback.

Features#

Click-to-comment: switch to comment mode and click any element to attach feedback to it
Threaded discussions: reply to comments and mark them as resolved
Panel integration: a global Feedback area in the Kirby Panel plus a per-page comments section for page blueprints
Multi-language: works with Kirby's multi-language sites, UI language auto-detected
Public or users only: restrict commenting to authenticated users or open it up to the public
Theming: light/dark themes included, custom themes possible
Self-contained: everything is stored in a local SQLite database, no external services

Quick Start#

composer require moinframe/kirby-loop

The feedback widget is automatically injected on all pages for authenticated users.

Configuration#

All options go into site/config/config.php:

return [
    // Enable/disable loop (default: true)
    'moinframe.loop.enabled' => true,

    // Or use a callback for conditional enabling
    'moinframe.loop.enabled' => function($page) {
        return in_array($page->template()->name(), ['article', 'blog']);
    },

    // Disable auto-injection (default: true)
    'moinframe.loop.auto-inject' => false,

    // Set header position: 'top' or 'bottom' (default: 'top')
    'moinframe.loop.position' => 'bottom',

    // Allow guest comments (default: false - requires auth)
    'moinframe.loop.public' => true,

    // Force UI language (default: null - auto-detect)
    'moinframe.loop.language' => 'de',

    // Set theme: 'default', 'dark', or custom theme name
    'moinframe.loop.theme' => 'dark',
];

Panel View#

Panel UI of Loop

Since 1.1.0 comments also show up in the Kirby Panel. A global Feedback area in the Panel menu lists all comments across the site, grouped by page. There's also a loop-comments blueprint section to show a page's comments right where editors work:

sections:
  feedback:
    type: loop-comments

See the Panel docs for permissions and how to hide the area for certain roles.
